"  AUTHORSHIP  OF  THE  BOOK  OF  MORMON  " 


By  Theodore  Schroeder 

The  above  title  is  given  by  Walter  F.  Prince  to  an  essay 
published  in  the  American  Journal  of  Psychology  for  July, 
1917,  vol.  28,    No.  3,  pp.  373-389.     The  first  paragraph  sug- 
gests some  assurance  that  his  essay  is  going  to  be  "  the  appli- 
cation of  rigorous  psychological  tests  "  to  determine  the  author- 
ship of  the  Book  of  Mormon.     I  judge  that  Mr.  Prince  con- 
ceives himself  to  be  using  the  methods  of  the  analytic  psy- 
chologists.    His  conclusion  is  that  "  prolonged  analysis  and 
comparison  ***  make  it  incredible  that  Spaulding  had  any 
connection  with  the  book,  doubtful  that  Rigdon  was  implicated, 
certain  that  Joseph  Smith's  hand  is  perceptible  in  every  part, 
/S^i  and  probable  that  he  was  the  sole  author,  the  edifice  of  whose 
*-»   imagination  echoed  to  reminiscences  which  he  was  far  from 
S"    recognizing."    Also  that  "  all  the  assignable  data  point  to  hini 
^     [Joseph  Smith]  and  him  alone  as  the  author."    This  conclusion 
he  says,  "  is  maintained  by  a  few  scholars    [himself  and  I. 
Woodbridge  Riley.     Any  one  else?]    mostly  within  the   last 
i^    15  years." 

^         I  am  of  a  contrary  opinion,  even  after  reading  Mr.  Riley  as 

J*    well  as  Mr.  Prince's  "  rigorous  psychologic  tests."     I  believe 

^     that  the  main  features  of  the  literary  plot  for  the  Book  of 

r    Mormon  and  many  of  the  names  of  its  characters  and  places 

were   supplied  by  the   Rev.   Solomon   Spaulding.     That  this 

was  revised,  mostly  by  Rev.  Sidney  Rigdon.    It  was  again  re- 

5    written  or  revised  between  Sept.  22,  1827,  and  June  11,  1829. 

O    This  last  revision  was  a  collaboration,   I  believe,  of  Sidney 

-^   Rigdon,  Parley  P.  Pratt,  Oliver  Cowdry,  and  perhaps  Emma 

^     Smith,   Hyrum   Smith   and   Joseph   Smith.     In   this   work   I 

^     believe  the  Smiths  were  the  least  potent  factors.   The  historical 

^    evidences  by  which  I  justify  these  conclusions  have  been  pub- 

Ij    lished  and  will  not  be  repeated.^     In  short  I  conceive  Joseph 

Smith  to  have  been  an  ignorant  conscious  fraud,  at  first  a  mere 

tool  used  by  more  cunning  schemers. 

Here  I  desire  to  discuss  only  the  intellectual  processes  in-

volved  in  Dr.  Prince's  "  rigorous  psychologic  tests."  To  me 
they  seem  not  at  all  rigorous  nor  a  valid  test  of  anything,  and 
not  even  an  important  contribution  to  any  problem  except 
perhaps  to  the  psychology  of  Dr.  Prince.  From  my  view- 
point it  appears  that  Dr.  Prince  is  exhibiting  in  marked  degree 
such  defective  psychologic  processes  as  I  have  on  rare  occa- 
sions observed  in  some  Freudians.  By  dealing  so  constantly 
with  those  archaic  modes  of  thinking  which  dominate  hyster- 
ical patients  and  primitive  peoples  some  analysts,  like  the 
victims  of  archaic  mental  processes,  tend  to  lose  sight  of  the 
fact  that  there  are  intellectual  methods  different  from  those  of 
the  average  adolescents  or  even  of  average  human  adults. 
Psychoanalysts  become  very  expert  in  unraveling  and  con- 
sciously imitating  the  archaic  mental  processes  of  their  pa- 
tients. If  not  clearly  conscious  of  the  difference  between 
archaic  and  mature  modern  intellectual  processes,  then  analytic 
psychologists  tend  to  become  so  obsessed  with  this  unique 
skill  of  theirs  that  they  forget  to  lay  it  aside  for  the  use  of 
more  scientific  procedure  when  dealing  with  problems  other 
than  the  immediate  therapeutic  measures.  Thus  they  some- 
times tend  to  become  the  victims  of  their  own  subconscious 
love  of  conscious  archaic  modes  of  thinking  and  in  consequence 
they  misapply  it.  This  I  conceive  to  be  the  immediate  cause 
of  the  evident  fallacies  of  Dr.  Prince. 

Assume,  if  you  please,  that  some  psychologist  obsessed  by 
an  emotional  conflict  over  masonry,  or  other  secret  societies, 
had  undertaken  "  the  application  of  rigorous  psychological 
tests "  to  the  problem  of  the  authorship  of  the  Book  of 
Mormon.  In  all  probability  his  tests  would  have  failed  in  their 
rigor.  Finding  that  the  content  of  the  Book  of  Mortnon  had 
quite  certainly  been  influenced  by  the  Masonic  conflicts  of  the 
time,  his  own  compulsive  archaic  mode  of  reacting  would 
tend  to  play  him  a  trick  according  to  well  known  hysterical 
procedure.  That  is  to  say :  his  unconscious  compulsion  toward 
archaic  modes  of  thinking  in  relation  to  secret  societies  would 
probably  cornpel  him  to  project  his  own  complex  into  Smith, 
only  to  rediscover  it  where  he  had  placed  it.  Then  it  would 
compel  him  to  justify  his  "  discovery  "  by  a  special  plea  based 
upon  specially  selected  material  accompanied  by  the  ignoring 
of  all  evidence  which  tends  to  contradict  his  obsession.  Thus 
he  would  prove  to  his  own  satisfaction  and  that  of  others 
similarly  obsessed,  that  S:mith  was  dominated  as  he  himself 
is  being  unconsciously  controlled.  But  how  does  this  hypo- 
thetical procedure  differ  in  its  visible  factors  from  Dr.  Walter 
Prince's  application  of  rigorous  psychologic  tests?  We  shall 
5ee  that  there  is  no  difference. 


AUTHORSHIP  OF  THE  BOOK  OF  MORMON  5 

Let  us  now  assume  another  type  of  psychologist,  one  who 
has  no  subconsciously  working  obsessions  to  read  into  the 
situation;  one  who  uses  mature  intellectual  methods  instead 
of  the  archaic  ones.  How  would  such  a  person  proceed  with 
"  the  application  of  rigorous  psychologic  tests  "  to  this  prob- 
lem. First  he  would  do  a  httle  reading  to  discover  all  the 
historic  factors  of  the  problem.  Among  the  seven  persons 
who  might  possibly  have  contributed  to  the  contents  of  the 
Book  of  Mormon,  he  would  never  arbitrarily  choose  one  as  its 
author,  and  then  justify  his  choice  by  a  pettifogging  special 
plea.  On  the  contrary  his  "  rigorous  psychologic  tests  "  would 
have  been  appHed  with  equal  rigor  to  all  possible  authors  to 
discover  with  whom  rests  the  preponderance  of  evidence. 
This  would  be  a  better  means  of  determining  the  choice  be- 
tween the  possible  authors  instead  of  using  mystical  psycho- 
logic procedure  to  justify  a  choice,  perhaps  determined  by 
unconscious  subjective  conditions,  existing  in  the  psychologist. 

It  seems  to  me  that  Dr.  W.  F.  Prince  weaves  a  large  fabric 
of  theory,  using  as  his  woof  partially  selected  material  from 
the  Book  of  Mormon,  and  as  his  warp  a  succession  of  assump- 
tions, for  which  we  find  an  adequate  explanation  only  in  the 
psychoanalytic  study  of  Dr.  Prince  himself,  tiiincrott  LAhPMC 

His  argument  is  constructed  mainly  from  the  selecuon  oT' 
names  appearing  in  the  Book  of  Mormon.  These  he  finds 
possessed  of  certain  clang  associations,  largely  with  anti- 
masonry,  and  Morgan.  His  assumption  is  that  Smith  is  the 
coiner  of  these  names.  The  historic  evidence  is  that  some  of 
the  names  in  the  Book  of  Mormon  were  coined  by  Spaulding. 
Upon  this  and  other  evidence  the  claim  of  Smith's  plagiarism 
from  Spaulding  is  founded.  Manifestly  it  is  therefore  absurd 
to  think  that  this  plagiarism  can  be  disapproved  by  psychologic 
tests  which  assume  the  very  thing  to  be  proven,  namely:  that 
the  Book  of  Mormon  names  are  of  Smith's  coinage. 

Dr.  Walter  F.  Prince  appears  to  assume  without  one  particle 
of  evidence,  except  that  in  the  absence  of  thorough  investiga- 
tion it  might  possibly  seem  to  have  been  so,  that  a  Masonry- 
Morgan  "  ruling  complex  "  existed  in  the  author  of  the  Book 
of  Mormon  and  that  clang  association  is  the  only  mental  pro- 
cess by  which  it  could  be  made  effective,  and  that  among  the 
seven  possible  collaborators  Smith  only  was  afflicted  with  such 
an  obsession. 

A  person  with  different  predisposition  might  have  found 
some  evidence  that  Smith  went  into  the  Mormon  scheme 
purely  from  a  desire  to  get  a  little  easy  money.  A  person 
eager  to  justify  such  a  theory  by  "  rigorous  psychologic  tests  " 
might  not  choose  the  Masonic-Morgan  complex  to  explain  the 


6  ^  SCHROEDER 

frequency  of  the  name  Mormon  and  numerous  others  of  the 
similar  component  sounds.  From  the  money-complex  point  of 
view  it  might  look  Hke  MORe  MONey.  It  seems  just  as  likely 
that  this  explains  the  fact  that  out  of  the  forty  names  begin- 
ning with  M,  25  begin  with  Mor.  If  one  is  going  to  solve 
this  problem  by  one's  own  archaic  modes  of  thinking,  and  thus 
read  oneself  into  the  situation,  it  is  perhaps  possible  to  find 
several  plausible  explanations  for  the  choice  of  the  names 
selected  by  Dr.  Prince.  If  the  explanations  to  which  we  are 
predisposed  cannot  be  proven  from  the  names  of  the  book 
probably  they  can  be  found  in  its  other  factors.  Perhaps 
among  these  one  might  consider  of  much  significance  the  choice 
of  numerous  Bible  quotations  which  are  incorporated  in  the 
Book  of  Mormon. 

One  who  is  more  zealous  as  to  the  use  of  the  scientific 
method  would  not  assume  without  discussion  that  the  secret 
society  contents  of  the  Book  of  Mormon  were  due  to  uncon- 
scious processes.  It  is  certainly  possible  that  Smith  and  his 
co-conspirators  very  consciously,  and  on  a  thorough  considera- 
tion of  the  objective  factors  of  their  problem,  decided  that  an 
anti-secret-society  attitude  would  add  to  the  book's  popularity 
and  to  the  financial  returns  of  their  fraud.  It  requires  eviden- 
ciary  facts,  and  not  mere  assumption  to  destroy  that  possible 
explanation  for  the  anti-Masonic  references  in  the  Book  of 
Mormon. 

One  who  is  more  rigorous  than  Dr.  Prince  in  his  psychologic 
tests  and  yet  had  no  broader  aim  than  by  psychologic  methods 
merely  to  determine  how  much  evidence  could  be  found  to 
support  the  claim  of  Smith's  authorship  of  the  Book  of  Mormon 
would  proceed  very  differently.  Such  a  person  might  begin 
with  a  study  of  Doctrine  and  Covenants,  a  volume  of  "  reve- 
lations "  for  which  Smith  frankly  assumed  responsibility  and 
where  no  question  of  plagiarism  is  involved,  and  which  has 
much  internal  evidence  of  being  dominated  at  least  in  thought 
by  Smith's  personal  conscious  motives.  From  this  volume  one 
could  probably  learn  something  of  Smith's  complexes.  There 
one  could  find  evidence  also  to  support  the  theory  of  a  dom- 
inant money-complex.  Then  his  authorship  of  the  Book  of 
Mormon  might  to  some  extent  be  tested  out,  by  seeing  if 
these  dominant  complexes  otherwise  discovered  to  exist  in 
him,  find  equal  predominance  in  the  contents  of  the  Book  of 
Mormon. 

Dr.  Prince  reverses  this  procedure.  He  finds  in  the  Book 
of  Mormon  much  that  evidently  reflects  the  Masonic  contro- 
versy of  the  time.  He  assumes  that  this  must  be  the  product 
of  the  unconscious  processes  of  the  author's  complexes.   Then 


AUTHORSHIP  OF  THE  BOOK  OF  MORMON  7 

he  assumes  that  Joseph  Smith  is  the  author.  Next  he  argues 
that  therefore,  Smith  must  be  obsessed  by  an  anti-Masonry 
complex.  Finally  he  manufactures  history  to  acquire  a  seem- 
ing confirmation  to  his  theory. 

Dr.  Prince  admits  that  in  the  large  volume  of  Smith's  "  reve- 
lations "  he  finds  only  three  circumstances  to  support  his 
theory  of  a  dominant  obsession  revealed  by  clang  associations. 
Instead  of  allowing  this  to  create  a  doubt  as  to  the  correctness 
of  his  theory  he  invents  an  explanation  without  evidence  when 
he  says  it  is  so,  "probably  because  the  'psychic  censor'  having 
the  models  so  closely  at  hand  took  alarm  and  rejected  similar 
sound  combinations."  In  other  words,  when  the  Book  of 
Mormon  was  finished,  Smith's  "  obsession  "  suddenly  and  per- 
manently disappears  without  any  other  explanation,  and  Joseph 
Smith  himself  became  a  mason,  in  spite  of  this  anti-masonic 
obsession.  Not  long  after  its  organization  the  Mormon  church 
as  a  whole  became  a  secret  society  and  later  was  admittedly 
a  "  bastard  masonry."  At  the  time  of  writing  the  Book  of 
Mormon,^  Hyrum  Smith  a  brother  and  co-conspirator  of 
Joseph  Smith  was  already  a  mason,  as  also  were  Heber  Kim- 
ball and  others  of  the  neighborhood  who  became  leading 
Mormons.  It  requires  more  evidence  than  Dr.  Prince  has 
produced  to  prove  that  Joseph  Smith  had  an  anti-masonic 
obsession,  working  subconsciously. 

But  let  us  examine  the  one  evidence  of  anti-masonic  obses- 
sion which  is  adduced  by  Dr.  Prince  as  being  operative  after 
1829.  He  says  that  "  the  one  Morgan-Anti-Masonic  complex 
***  in  after  years  subconsciously  influenced  Joseph  Smith  to 
call  his  fiscal  institution  on  the  wild  cat  bills  which  it  issued 
an  'Anti-Banking  Company.'"  But  is  it  true?  Again  we 
have  mere  assumption  both  as  to  the  nature  of  the  complex 
and  of  the  subconsciousness  of  the  determinant  of  this  choice. 

The  fact  is  that  Smith  had  organized  the  "Kirtland  Safety 
Society  "  v/ithout  well  defined  purpose  in  its  articles  of  agree- 
ment. Under  this  charter  he  attempted  to  do  a  banking  busi- 
ness and  issued  "wild  cat"  notes  in  the  usual  form  as  emanat- 
ing from  a  Kirtland  Safety  Society  Bank.  This,  I  suspect, 
was  done  in  violation  of  the  banking  laws  of  the  State  and 
Smith  became  apprehensive  of  arrest.  In  this  situation  Smith's 
problem  was  one  of  evading  the  banking  laws  without  seriously 
lowering  the  efficiency  of  his  fraud.  Smith  solved  his  problem 
in  this  fashion.  The  company  was  reorganized  under  the 
title  of  "Kirtland  Safety  Society  Anti-Banking  Company" 
whose  articles  of  agreement  did  not  specifically  authorize  the 
doing  of  banking  business.     The  capital  stock  was  fixed  at

"  not  less  than "  $4,000,000  and  the  articles  of  association 
authorized  the  officers  to  do  unlimited  borrowing.  The  bank 
notes  already  existing  were  again  run  through  a  printing  press 
and  the  prefix  "  anti  "  and  the  suffix  "  ing  "  and  "  Company  " 
were  printed  before  and  after  the  word  "  Bank."  It  was 
doubtless  believed  that  this  would  furnish  a  sufficient  technical 
legal  defence  against  a  charge  of  falsely  and  fraudulently 
pretending  to  conduct  a  bank  in  conformity  with  the  modest 
safe-guards  of  the  banking  statutes.  At  the  same  time  the 
prefix  **  anti "  and  the  other  additions  were  printed  in  such 
small  type  relative  to  the  word  "  Bank,"  that  careless  observers 
would  still  be  effectively  deceived,  and  yet  perhaps  the  penal- 
ties of  the  law  would  be  technically  evaded.  In  the  light  of 
the  facts  objective  to  Smith,  v/hat  need  or  excuse  is  there  for 
assuming  without  even  the  least  evidence  that  this  use  of  the 
prefix  "  anti  "  was  **  subconsciously  influenced  "  by  a  dominant 
"  Morgan- Anti-Masonic  complex  ?"  Is  Dr.  Prince  again  re- 
vealing the  subconscious  influence  of  his  own  anti-secret  society 
complex  ? 

Why  should  one  assume  that  Smith  more  than  Rigdon  or 
Cowdry  had  read  and  been  influenced  by  anti-masonry  litera- 
ture when  that  is  the  very  issue  to  be  decided  by  "  rigorous 
psychologic  tests  ?"  Rigdon,  Pratt  and  Cowdry  at  least  could 
read  and  write.  Smith  was  so  illiterate  that  he  could  not  even 
write  his  own  manuscripts.  Oliver  Cowdry  was  his  chief  but 
not  his  only  amanuensis. 

Again  Dr.  Prince  says  truly  that  the  author  of  the  Book  of 
Mormon  "  was  familiar  with  some  book  giving  a  meagre  ac- 
count of  the  first  voyage  to  America."  Why  familiar  with 
only  "  meagre  account  ?"  Spaulding  we  are  informed  had  a 
considerable  knowledge  of  fact  and  speculation  in  relation  to 
this  subject.  Why  assume  that  such  knowledge  influenced 
the  illiterate  Smith  and  that  such  knowledge  did  not  come 
through  Spaulding,  the  Amherst  graduate? 

Only  for  the  sake  of  the  argument,  let  us  assume  with  Dr. 
Prince  that  the  name  Olihah  in  the  Book  of  Mormon  could  not 
possibly  have  had  any  other  origin  than  as  a  subconscious  vari- 
ation of  Oliver.  Yet  why  also  assume  without  evidence  that 
Smith  and  not  his  scribe  and  fellow  conspirator  Oliver  Cowdry 
is  responsible  for  the  choice  ? 

Again  let  me  assume  without  evidence  as  does  Dr.  Prince 
that  the  word  "  tahhanes  "  in  the  Book  of  Mormon  could  have 
no  other  origin  than  as  a  subconscious  variation  of  "  tannery." 
How  does  this  prove  that  Smith  had  a  tannery  complex?  I 
remember  no  evidence  that  Smith  ever  saw  a  tannery.  I  do 
know  of  evidence  that  Sidney  Rigdon  worked  in  a  tannery. 
This  would  tend  to  confirm  my  theory  as  to  Rigdon's  revision 


AUTHORSHIP  OF  THE  BOOK  OF  MORMON  9 

of  Spaulding's  manuscript,  rather  than  to  prove  Smith's  au- 
thorship. 

Dr.  Prince  makes  much  of  names  in  his  argument.  Thus 
true  to  his  own  psychologic  predisposition  he  cannot  allow 
any  other  origin  for  the  name  Maroni  except  that  same-  old 
anti-masonry-Morgan  complex.  In  the  light  of  the  historical 
evidence  of  the  plagiarism  of  the  Book  of  Mormon  from 
Spaulding's  "Manuscript  Found"  another  possible  explana- 
tion suggests  itself.  Spaulding  was  a  clergyman  with  two 
degrees  from  Amherst  College.  He  must  have  known  some- 
thing of  history  and  Latin  and  the  use  of  reference  books.  If 
such  a  person  had  been  seeking  for  the  names  of  persons  which 
were  to  be  used  in  fiction  as  emigrants  to  prehistoric  America 
he  might  have  easily  found  and  appropriated  the  name  "  Mo- 
rone  or  Moroni "  from  the  Italian  where  it  distinguishes 
several  prominent  citizens.  One  of  the  persons  who  made 
the  name  of  Moroni  famous  was  a  Romanist  cardinal  who 
suffered  imprisonment  for  heresy  under  Pope  Paul  IV.  It  is 
quite  possible  that  Spaulding,  the  heretical  backsliding  clergy- 
man found  something  attractive  in  the  life  of  Cardinal  Morone 
or  Moroni,  and  that  this  induced  him  to  select  that  name  for 
some  of  the  characters  of  his  story,  and  particularly  as  the 
name  of  an  angel  who  showed  where  the  ancient  record  of 
Mormon  was  buried,  on  the  basis  of  which  Spaulding  thought 
(according  to  preserved  evidence)  to  estabHsh  a  new  religion, 
to  show  the  absurdity  of  all  religions.  Of  course  I  do  not 
know  that  this  is  the  true  explanation  of  the  use  of  that  name. 
But  I  will  say  that  in  the  light  of  the  historic  evidence  of 
Spaulding's  contribution  to  the  contents  of  the  Book  of  Mor- 
mon this  seems  to  me  a  better  supported  explanation  than  that 
Smith  coined  the  name  in  consequence  of  a  subconscious  Mor- 
gan-Anti-Masonic complex.  Other  names  in  the  Book  of 
Mormon  can  be  similarly  explained.  Furthermore  it  seems 
to  me  that  the  special  character  of  the  variations  used  in  sim- 
ilar Mormon  names  find  at  least  plausible  explanation  in 
Spaulding's  study  of  Latin.  That  I  must  not  discuss  at  this 
time. 

I  believe  that  even  this  brief  criticism  of  Dr.  Prince's  "  ap- 
plication of  rigorous  psychologic  tests "  to  the  problem  of 
authorship  of  the  Book  of  Mormon  shows  his  method  to  be 
so  defective  as  to  leave  his  conclusions  wholly  valueless.  He 
reasons  around  in  a  circle,  in  a  fine  mystical  or  archaic  fashion. 
Perhaps  he  should  secure  the  services  of  a  psychoanalyst  for 
his  self  understanding  before  he  attempts  to  use  psychology  as 
a  tool  to  explain  others.  Then  he  will  not  be  tempted  to  con- 
struct special  pleas  in  support  of  personal  whims.

responsibility  for  their  libelous  character  and  challenging  a 
criminal  prosecution,  with  which  the  N.  Y.  Times  had  been 
threatened,  is  the  only  connection  of  T.  S,  with  them.  The
